Mayor Medina Announces Amazing Glaze as 2024 Second-Quarter Winner of Mayor’s Business Spotlight Program

Post Date:03/27/2024 9:26 AM

Therapy comes in many different forms…including pottery painting! 

Amazing Glaze, located at 3540 Jupiter Blvd. SE, Unit 5, is a paint-your-own pottery studio and has been a family-owned and operated established business in Palm Bay since February 2023. They have often been referred to as a “therapeutic experience” by their customers, offering a creative space where individuals of all ages can unleash their artistic talents by painting a variety of ceramic pieces such as mugs, plates, bowls, figurines, and more! These items serve as blank canvases for customers to decorate according to their preferences. 

Upon entering, you can’t help but feel the creative vibes flow and the urge to bring out your inner Bob Ross. The back wall is lined with hundreds of unfinished pottery pieces to choose from, along with almost every paint color under the sun and all the painting tools needed to create your masterpiece. The music is an added bonus (yes, they take music requests), they provide free Wi-Fi, and you can even bring your own food/drinks to enjoy while you paint. If you cannot finish your piece on the first visit, they allow customers to return as many times as needed to do so, just don’t forget your paint colors!

Amazing Glaze provides citizens of Palm Bay with a space to enjoy quality time with loved ones and create lasting memories together through laughter and conversation. By the end of their visit, customers depart knowing they made a tangible memento of their day. They maintain high ratings and reviews across various platforms, such as Google, Facebook, and Yelp. “We wanted to provide a place where people could come and have fun with their family and enjoy the atmosphere. We set a goal to influence the community in different areas,” says owner Sean Brooks. 

They make about 30% of their own ceramics on-site, giving them the ability to customize pieces for customers. Their future goal is to offer a comprehensive experience where individuals can fully engage in the process of creating their own ceramics through sculpting or wheel-turning. 

Aside from providing day-to-day customers with a family-friendly activity, Amazing Glaze gives back to the community by supporting schools, churches, and nonprofits through various donations and sponsorships. They host field trips, birthday parties, large groups, and a monthly LEGO meet-up for children of all ages. They even bring the joy of painting to elderly housing communities to promote inclusivity. 

Amazing Glaze was presented with a Proclamation at the March 21, 2024, Regular City Council Meeting as the Mayor’s Business Spotlight Program recipient for the second quarter of 2024. “This is a great opportunity to consider a team-building activity as well,” says Mayor Rob Medina.
